Thoughts: 03-May-2009

NBC renewed Southland for a second season of thirteen episodes. My sister told me about this show and I was able to catch the repeat of the premiere on the Saturday after its debut on Thursday. Very interesting show from the creators of ER and deserves a renew. Thank God, that some quality shows are getting renewed.

A co-worker told me about this show on the History Channel called UFO Hunters, saying it provided a balanced look at the cases they were investigating. The main guy, who publishes UFO Magazine, takes so many wild leaps into unfounded theory and speculation that I have to wonder if he really believes all the stuff he is saying. And he also does the wrap up to the show, where he claims to have found proof to support his wild theories.

Same thing on History Channel's Monsterquest. They never find any real evidence and then claim proof was found when it was not. Passing a polygraph does not mean your story is true, it means that the person believes it is true, and even that is not solid enough to be admissible in a court of law. This past show about Bigfoot had a so called forensic podiatrist examine some casts. His conclusions, this prints are big and could not be a human. Oh, and he did not believe that they could have been faked, even though he offered nothing to back this conclusion up.

Oh well.
